GL-BE9300 (Flint 3) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router, High-Speed 6GHz Gaming WiFi Router for Wireless Internet, Long range, 5 x 2.5G VPN Routers for Computer Routers, Home Streaming & Business

Fantastic upgrade — super fast and reliable! Picked up the GL.iNet Flint 3 recently, and I’m seriously impressed. Setup was quick and easy — the interface is clean, and it gives you way more control than your typical consumer router. The WiFi 7 speeds are no joke; everything in my house runs smoother, from gaming to streaming 4K video. The tri-band setup is great too — the 6GHz band handles my gaming rig perfectly, while all the smart devices chill on the 2.4 and 5GHz bands without slowing anything down. 2.4 and 5GHz bands signal strength is strong throughout the whole house, even through a couple of walls. 6GHz falters quickly the further you get away, that is expected with 6GHz though. I also love that it supports advanced features like VPN, AdGuard, and all the custom firmware options GL.iNet is known for. It’s powerful but still user-friendly. Overall, this thing is a beast for the price — fast, stable, and packed with features. Highly recommend if you want pro-level performance without spending a fortune!

Okay this is fantastic upgrade from the bt smarthub 2. I'm on a 900Mbps bt full fibre connection and over wifi the smarthub 2 would struggle to hit 400Mbps on the 5ghz channel. The setup was straightforward and the router walks you through it. Just unplug the smarthub and then plug this straight into the BT ONT and configure the PPPOE settings and you're away. I used the same SSID and wifi password as the bt router to save me having then setup every device in the house again. Once done everything just logged straight onto the flint 3. The flint 3 on 5ghz with a 180mhz channel width i can get the full 900Mbps on wifi. So its clear this router has amazing wifi speed. I specifically bought this to increase the data rate to my pc upstairs which has a wifi 6e pcie card. Although this router is tri band and has a 6ghz radio this frequency does not reach upstairs and through a wall to my pc so I'm only really reviewing the 5ghz capability. Previously with the smarthub 2 I would struggle to achieve 250Mbps. With the flint 3 I'm able to achieve 630Mbps which is an amazing improvement. (To be clear, I was not expecting the full 900), i may in time upgrade the pc card to wifi 7 to try and leverage MLO.. add to this the other amazing features such as network wide ad blocking with adguard and the ability to configure a vpn globally or policy based and quality of service this is a no brainer upgrade for anyone looking to upgrade away from the standard ISP supplied router on a full fibre connection.

Bought this router a few weeks ago as a replacement for an ancient TP-Link router I had previously, and have been very pleased with the purchase. I chose this router for the WiFi 7 support to ensure I was future-proofed, but haven't had a chance to test it. Otherwise it has excellent signal strength, good speeds over both WiFi and ethernet, and is both extremely configurable (if you know what you're doing) and easy to just set up and go (if you don't).

This is a very nice, very fast device. I am very happy with my purchase. I have previously flashed DDWRT onto my router and have really missed the features over the last few years - this has all of those lovely features and options to add more. I am using it as a bridge to the main router and it is giving excellent throughput and working really well. I will also be making use of the openvpn server as I am often away from my home network. Build quality seems good - design, according to my son, is a bit 'Deceptacon-ish'. If you want / need lots of configuration options for your router - this is the best I have found. My last was a Netgear Nighthhawk, which is absolute pants in comparison despite being a similar price when purchased.

Great piece of kit! WiFi range is good, its on the middle floor of our 3 story house and we get signal everywhere. Managing SSIDs is easy, personally I have not used MLO but the WiFi7 works well with all of our old and new devices, on all three bands. We reserved the 6ghz band for low latency gaming as its not possible to run ethernet through the property, works brilliantly. As it is Linux based, there is a whole host of packages that can be downloaded to add even more to the experience.

The Flint 3 is an exceptional, 5-star device that delivers a massive and necessary performance upgrade over any standard ISP-supplied router. It is the clear choice for maximising high-speed, full-fibre internet connections and gaining access to advanced network management features. Unmatched Performance and Coverage This router effortlessly achieves the maximum available internet speeds, consistently providing superior throughput where previous hardware struggled. Its range and signal are outstanding, ensuring robust, full-bar Wi-Fi coverage across all rooms. My devices that once suffered from slow connections in remote areas of the house now receive dramatically improved, stable data rates. Powerful Features and Flexibility Setup is designed to be straightforward, usually involving a direct connection to the fibre terminal. The true advantage is the software, which provides configuration flexibility. Standard features are exceptional, including network-wide ad blocking (AdGuard), policy-based VPN capabilities, and robust Quality of Service (QoS) controls. Support I contacted GL.iNet support regarding a VPN configuration query, and their service and response was first class. Final Verdict The Flint 3 combines blistering speed, reliable range, and powerful open-source functionality. It is the best high-end customisable router available and an essential upgrade for any serious home network user.

Changed my internet provider and the router that came with it was only so..so.... Loss of signal. WiFi blocked by walls (old house). So took to Amazon and went through lots of reviews for many routers and settled on the GL.iNet BE9300 and I'm extremely happy I did, Setting up was very easy with the instructions and youtubes help no compatibility problems at all. I now receive WiFi signal all round my home with no blocked spots the speed is brilliant. In future I'm sure I will change my internet provider but I know this router will be the one I use with those as well no more so..so.. routers for me. Very impressive.

Huge spec and easy to setup. However the performance is awful. On 5ghz and 6ghz, the WiFi kept cutting out. 2.5ghz was good but very slow speed. My standard virgin hub 5 beats this router by miles. And for anyone asking, yes I upgraded the router to the latest firmware.
